Career transitions
Questioning your direction, considering a change, leaving a profession, returning to work, or wondering what you actually want from working life.
Coaching for identity, career & life transitions
When what worked before no longer fits, what comes next?
Sometimes the hardest part of change isn't deciding what to do. It's understanding who you are now.
I offer a thoughtful, psychologically informed space to explore where you are, what matters to you, and what you want to create next.

Perhaps you're here because…
Something has changed.
You may be questioning your career, feeling stuck, struggling with confidence, or going through a significant transition.
You might know that something needs to change without knowing exactly what. Or you may have achieved what you thought you wanted and discovered that it no longer feels quite right.
Sometimes a practical problem turns out to hold a deeper question about identity, meaning, self-worth or belonging.
What we can work on
Start with where you are.
Identity transitions
Exploring changes in identity, belonging, meaning and direction when an old way of being no longer feels like it fits.
Feeling stuck
Understanding what may be keeping you stuck and exploring what could help you begin moving again.
Confidence & imposter feelings
Exploring the stories you hold about your abilities, worth and competence, and how they affect your choices.
Burnout & overwhelm
Creating space to stop, reflect and reconnect with what matters when you've spent a long time meeting expectations or simply keeping going.
Decisions & uncertainty
You don't always need certainty before you act. Sometimes the way forward emerges through exploration and experimentation.
My approach
A space to think differently.
I don't believe coaching should be about giving you the answers. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring curiosity, attention and challenge to the conversation so that you can see yourself and your situation from different perspectives.

About Sophie
The space between who we have been and who we might become.
I'm a coach interested in what happens when people reach a point where the life they have built no longer quite fits.
Sometimes that looks like career uncertainty. Sometimes it looks like burnout, a loss of confidence or feeling stuck.
And sometimes the question underneath all of those things is much bigger:
“Is this actually the life I want?”
I have a portfolio career, working as a career coach alongside my work in theatre and investing. I've experienced many career transitions myself, and know how complicated it can be to work out what comes next, particularly when the life you've built no longer quite fits. My own experience has taught me the value of creating change that feels sustainable, authentic and meaningful.
My work is grounded in psychological thinking and shaped by person-centred, narrative and Gestalt-informed coaching, alongside psychodynamic, ACT and solution-focused influences.

What clients say.
“After 10 years I decided to take the leap and quit my job and career. I was feeling quite lost and overwhelmed by the thought of having to find a whole new career. Sophie was introduced to me at the right time. Even after one session I felt clearer and lighter with some direction. Her gentle reminders that small steps are just as valid as the big ones and permission to allow myself to mull things over was incredibly helpful. Over the sessions I felt more confident to trust my instincts and that through the research I was doing I was gathering information and moving closer to my new career path. Sophie is amazing at her job and would (and have) recommend her to anyone needing some coaching. ”LS
“By creating a supportive environment and the right amount of structure, Sophie enabled me to think clearly about my future. What had previously felt heavy and uncertain now feels positive and full of possibility. I’m leaving the coaching with clarity, confidence, and real excitement about what’s next.”Ally
“Never felt so heard in my life, safest place to be was that teams meeting session 1”GB
“Working with Sophie was genuinely transformative. She’s friendly, open, and incredibly relatable, which made it easy to speak honestly about my challenges. Her advice was always spot-on, and I left every session feeling lighter, empowered, and ready to take action. With her support, I was able to face and overcome obstacles that once felt overwhelming.”Andy
